Use this form to create, maintain, and view the whole budget planning process. This form is the main navigation form for all your work regarding the flexible budget.

Note

When you create a new plan, you must select a budget model and specify a posting year. You can create only one flexible budget per posting year and budget model. The transaction years correspond to the periods in the ledger account section. A period must have been previously created, but it does not have to be open. If you need more than one plan per year, you must create several budget models.
